Or stay away from it.

bandwagons don't make their own roads, they ride down others'.

I swear with each new site big corporate sponsors release, its more obvious than the last they have no clue about the niche they are trying to exploit.

And people wonder why it doesnt convert. You either know the niche or you dont.

In most cases, the sponsors don't.

They count on webmasters who DON'T know their niche... you know that.

gothweb · 09-22-2002, 12:38 PM

I know what you mean... I for one am comfortable that I know my niche, since I *am* my niche. ;)

Well said Fletch - most sponsors do not have a clue what they are doing when it comes to niche sites.

Gothweb, I gotta admit, you certainly do seem to have a handle on the transexual goat fisting midget scene. You go man.
